對話範例:

(人生課題)Caroline和Mark是表親。Caroline一直與乳癌對抗。來聽聽看他們的對話。

Mark: 嗨，Caroline！你今天感覺如何？

Caroline: 嗨，Mark！我最近已經好多了。醫生說我的免疫系統指數上升，且腫瘤正在萎縮中。

Mark: 那真是太好了！這真是一段可怕的旅程，對吧？

Caroline: 喔，當然。但是從某個方面來說，我很開心，因為我從此學了不少。

Mark: 真的？像是？

Caroline: 我一次只面對一天的事情。這真的能幫助我放鬆而且不擔心下星期或下個月將要面臨的事。我也很享受一天的每一時刻，因為有一段時間，我不知道還有幾天能活。

Mark: 哇，真是不可思議。這種看法對很多人都受用。你還學到了什麼？

Caroline: 我還學到什麼叫做愛你親近的人並且讓他們知道。而且最重要的是我學到我需要先照顧好我自己，不論如何，優先於其他任何人或任何事。因為要不然，如果我不照顧好自己我就撐不了太久。

Mark: Hi, Caroline! How are you feeling today

Caroline: Hi, Mark! I've been doing much better lately. The doctor said my immune system is up, and the tumors are shrinking.

Mark: That's fantastic! This has been quite a scary journey, huh

Caroline: Oh, absolutely. But in a way, I'm happy, because I've learned so much from it.

Mark: Really? Like what

Caroline: Well, I'm taking things one day at a time. It's really helped me relax and not stress about what I have to deal with next week, or next month. I'm also appreciating every single moment of the day, because, for a while, I didn't know how many days I had left.

Mark: Wow, that's really amazing. Many of us could use that kind of outlook. What else have you learned

Caroline: I've learned about what it really means to love those who are close to you, and to let them know it. And, most importantly, I've learned that I need to take care of myself first, no matter what, before anyone or anything else. Because, otherwise, I won't go on as long as I could if I took care of my own needs.
